Cheers Mark I'm leaving the topside alone now I've gone as far as I wanted to and I'm happy with the results 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Not much time at the bench today but I've finished the weathering on the underside of the Spitfire and I'm pleased with the results. So now I need to concentrate on all the other various parts to push this build over the line. Hopefully by the end of play tomorrow I will have more or less finished the Spitfire so I can start preparing for the next one So another step in the right direction on what has been a very enjoyable build indeed. Thanks for looking back soon 🙂👍 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Looks good Andy, great work, although I have to ask what's behind the wheel Wells? Is that mud? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Actually Chris I've since made some changes to the underside weathering as tbh I think it was a little over done shall we say 🙄. I think this is more subtle and looks much better if I'm honest 🙂 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
